Benefits of technology

[0001]The present invention relates to a device, method, and program for developing application programs (hereinafter referred to as simply “applications”), and more specifically to a device, method, and program that makes reviewing of applications possible.

Problems solved by technology

Typically, the problems in the operation of applications are noticed by users when attempts are made to run the application.
However, when there are no screen captures, there is the fear of the developer not being able to find the correct location where the problem is.

Embodiment Construction

[0028]However, the above cited patent merely discloses the sharing of comment data related to a drawing object among a plurality of users working in collaboration with each other. Namely, no means is disclosed for efficiently communicating information concerning the operation of the application from a user to the developer when one user is the application developer and refers to the screen for defining the operations of the application (an application development tool or environment) and another user is a user of the application and refers to the screen to run the application.

[0029]The present invention is for solving technical problems such as those above, and it is an object thereof to be able to efficiently acquire information concerning the operation of an application. Furthermore, another object of the present invention is acquiring the information concerning the operation of an application in such a way that it can be determined which location within the application the acquir...

Abstract

An application with a function for inputting feedback incorporated into it is created and presented with the present embodiment. By this means, feedback about the problems in the running of the application may be obtained efficiently. In addition, an application with a function for inputting feedback about the components that define the operations of the application and a function that maintains a correspondence between the feedback descriptions and the components that are the target of the feedback incorporated into it is created by the present embodiment. By this means, the component in the application that the feedback concerns may easily be determined.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a device, method, and program for developing application programs (hereinafter referred to as simply “applications”), and more specifically to a device, method, and program that makes reviewing of applications possible.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Typically, the problems in the operation of applications are noticed by users when attempts are made to run the application. In such cases, the user notifies the developer of the application about the problem. Such operations are normally carried out with the following steps.1. The developer sends the application to the user.[0003]2. The user runs the application and describes the problem. At that time, screen captures may be taken to clarify the problem.3. The user sends these to the developer.[0004]4. The developer reads the description of the problem. At that time, the screen captures may be referred to for gaining an understanding of the problem.5. The developer opens an ...
